The Vigorous and Industrious Ruth (Example from Ruth Part 1)

Paragraph reading: Ruth 2:7

=================

"Earlier she said, Let me pick up and collect the barley from among the papers of this barley-scytheman scytheman behind. And so she came and kept busy from morning until now, she did not stop for one moment."

Who should be blamed if we are deprived of life? There are many people who blame fate, destiny and so forth, the same means to blame God. There are people I know are always complaining but he himself did not try anything. Everyday he just sat at home doing nothing. For people like this, how could life be improved?
Man was created not for the lazy. The first man, Adam's even been given the authority to manage everything that exists on earth. (Genesis 1:28). That means we are pledged to do the work diligently, both work for a living or to perform the works of God such as the commendation.

Over the last few days we have been discussing the various qualities of our worthy Ruth Model. There's one more thing that we can learn from Ruth, the earnestness in their work. Ruth was an industrious and enterprising work. She was not shy or embarrassed to do his job, despite what she's doing is not something that for many people proud. Barley collectors, that's her profession. In accordance with what is spoken of the Lord through Moses in Leviticus 19:9-10, crops that had fallen on the ground should not be taken, but should be allowed to be levied by poor people. So the poor people barley collectors usually will follow scytheman or harvesters from behind to pick up the remnants of the fall harvest. As a woman who is younger than the age-in-law, Naomi, Ruth realized that she was the need to work. And that she did with all my her heart, even though the lowest numbered job at that time.

Where do we find out that Ruth is a type of hard worker? Watch in amazement when Boaz saw Ruth, who was busy picking up behind scytheman barley. When Boaz asked about Ruth, flunky supervisor or foreman to explain who Ruth was. Then the foreman continued: "Earlier she said, Let me pick up and collect the barley from among the papers of this barley-scytheman scytheman behind. And so she came and kept busy from morning until now, one moment she did not stop." (Ruth 2:7). See how serious and diligent work of Ruth. It is said there that she kept busy from morning without stopping at all. This persistence aroused sympathy in the hearts of Boaz, and she then received mercy from Boaz. "Then Boaz said to Ruth:" Listen first, my child! You need not go into the fields of barley picked another and also you do not have to go from here, but still near-Workers Workers women. Just look to the fields that are in sickle person. Follow the women from behind. Because I have a reservation to the Workers-Workers men do not bother you. If you are thirsty, go to the jug-jug and drink water-Workers Workers in the dipper by it. "(V. 8-9). Although his work was quite tough, Ruth was happy to do so by actively and earnestly. Even Ruth continued to perform work during the harvest of barley and wheat harvest. "So she kept close to the Workers-Workers to pick up women Boaz until the harvest of barley and wheat harvest has ended. And during that time he lived in-law. "(V. 23).

What about our work ethic today? Do we have to give the best performance or do we still continue to count profit or loss in the works? Laziness is not a place in God's eyes. If Boaz just impressed with the spirit and Ruth intensive work, God was necessarily the case. Look at the promise of blessing in Deuteronomy 28:1-14, we can see that the Lord would prefer to bless our work rather than providing instant. God love the business we do earnestly and He will put His blessing there, through our perseverance. "Blessed are you in town and bless thee in the fields. Bless your womb fruit, crops and livestock mu mu, namely children and the contents of your cattle and your sheep. Bless your basket and place your dough." (Deuteronomy 28:3-5). Serious business and really sweet will always bear fruit.

The Word of God reminds us to work with the best while you still have a chance. "Everything that your hand finds to do, do it full force, there is no work, consideration, knowledge and wisdom in Sheol, whither thou shalt go." (Preachers 9:10). This is an appeal which is important for us remember, because if we waste our productive years, then we will not reap any future. In Proverbs we can see the following paragraph: "In the winter do not plow the lazy: if he was looking at the harvest, no nothing." ".. If one does not work, let him not eat." (2 Thessalonians 3:10).

(Proverbs 20:4). There is no other way, if we are to successfully receive the blessings of God, we must work diligently and hard. Even say

Do not waste your time by keeping busy doing what does not work or choose to continue to get lazy and not working. God does not like that attitude. Work ethic, diligence and intensive work proved fruitless Ruth extraordinary. And like that for us too. God could give them an instant, but it is not educational. God chose to bless our work.

Because of that hard-working. "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not unto men." (Colossians 3:23). Let's attitude of self-Ruth Model working with really high or low regardless of the job he was doing. God still able to wear any jobs for as low as extraordinary was transformed into a blessing if we do it with all my heart for His glory.

Work earnestly with all your heart to glorify God
